Isithebe Industrual Township (near Mandini)
This is aother former ‘border’ industrial development area, located about 10 km north of Mandini on the North Coast line. It was developed by the KwaZulu Finance & Development Corporation and rail lines were provided in the area. While these are largely intact, there has been little rail traffic in recent times. Nevertheless, a thorough evaluation of a future rail potential should be undertaken before any of the lines are removed.
